TRUSTEES' REPORT
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2025
Joint foreword from the Chair and CEO
We are delighted to present our report of Creative Response Arts’ activities and performance in the year to end March 2025.
It has been another very busy year for the Charity, with several new projects developed, continued growth reaching new communities, and meeting increased demand for the service.
We are particularly proud to highlight our new work in Hampshire, where we now have thriving services running in Farnborough and Aldershot. Also, the successful establishment of a dedicated group for older people facing loneliness or social isolation, running weekly on Mondays at our Farnham studios.
We remain committed to continued growth in line with need and to supporting as many vulnerable adults as possible with our life-saving service. Accordingly, we have continued to seek out and develop partnerships that help increase our reach and impact. As in previous years, we have been pleased this year to participate in a number of activities and events with other DAISY (Disability Arts in Surrey) network members. A new partnership with the Fastforward photography team at the UCA, with whom we have participated in a national project for refugee women in photography this year, has brought exciting new opportunities for our Ukrainian women’s art group. We have been grateful for the support of a small number of local businesses, including in particular the team at Nando’s Farnham, who kindly chose us to be one of their charity partners for the restaurant’s opening events in December 2024.
A series of trips to local green spaces, including Alice Holt Forest and RHS Wisley, made possible with funding from Sport England, have offered opportunities for our participants to get out and about and make ‘art outside the gallery’. This project inspired art in new media, as well as introducing our members to the wealth of beauty spots on our doorstep, to get out in nature, and to enjoy the physical and mental health benefits this brings.
As ever, there has been fresh and diverse work on show at the studios throughout the year. We were delighted that the UCA gallery team accepted our invitation to curate the main event in our calendar: the summer exhibition. The expert advice and guidance of Loucia Manopoulou and Roger Prynn, and their team, really elevated the presentation of this year’s work in Kintsugi, our 2024 show.
Feedback from members of the Creative Response community continues to attest to the vital and life-saving impact of the support that our expert team of artists provide. We look forward to our continued growth next year: reaching new communities; helping those we serve find joy and enrichment in the arts and creativity; to stay stable and well and rebuild their lives.
Trustees Report
The Trustees (who are also Directors of the charity for the purposes of the Companies Act) present their annual report together with the financial statements of Creative Response (Arts) Limited for the year ended 31 March 2025.
The Annual Report serves the purposes of both a Trustees' report and a directors' report under company law. The Trustees confirm that the Annual Report and financial statements of the charitable company comply with the current statutory requirements, the requirements of the charitable company's governing document and the provisions of the Statement of Recommended Practice (SORP) applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS102) (effective 1 January 2019).
Since the company qualifies as small under section 382 of the Companies Act 2006, the Strategic Report required of medium and large companies under the Companies Act 2006 (Strategic Report and Directors' Report) Regulations 2013 has been omitted.

Set up in 1993, Creative Response (Arts) Limited was incorporated as a company limited by guarantee on 11 March 1997 with company registration number 04404746 (England and Wales) and was set up by memorandum and articles of association on 27 March 2002. It is a registered charity: registration number 1096890 (England and Wales).
The ‘object’ of the company, as set out in the governing documents, is to relieve persons with mental health problems or alcohol or drug problems by provision of therapeutic arts activities.

There have been no changes in the charity objects since the last annual report.

The management of the company is the responsibility of the Board of Trustees who are elected under the terms of the Articles of Association. New trustees are appointed by the current Trustees.
c. ORGANISATIONAL STRUCTURE AND DECISION MAKING

Objectives and Activities
a. OBJECTIVES
Creative Response offers therapeutic community arts to vulnerable adults experiencing mental ill health and/or who have physical and/or learning disabilities. We take a person centred approach, tailoring support to the needs of the individual.
Through the provision of our service we seek to:
- help our participants access the benefits of the arts and creativity for mental health and wellbeing, including to equip our participants with tools that enable them to sustain their own wellbeing outside the studios;
- Offer social and community connection, to help tackle loneliness and isolation;
- By supporting people through recovery and to stay as stable and well as is possible for them, helping enable them to: (re)engage with social life; build their self-esteem and resilience; and move on to new things when they are ready.
We seek to enrich the lives of vulnerable adults through our own arts and community offer, and by providing support and encouragement to people in our community to explore other things. We have supported vulnerable adults into work for the first time, or to return to work or volunteering; to enrol in further education, university or other training courses; and to join creative, and other activities, on offer in the wider local community.
b. MAIN ACTIVITIES UNDERTAKEN TO FURTHER THE CHARITY'S PURPOSES FOR PUBLIC BENEFIT
Our main activity is the provision of therapeutic arts sessions for vulnerable adults. These aim to improve mental health and emotional wellbeing. Our arts sessions mostly take place at our studios in central Farnham, on weekdays, during term time. We also host sessions at the Garden Gallery, Museum of Farnham, the West End Centre Aldershot, the Oasis, Farnborough and an online creative writing group.
The Garden Gallery space provides an ‘annex’ to our main Farnham studios, that enables us to support to new and existing participants with significant physical disabilities, as a fully accessible offer in a bright and beautiful space.
Our art sessions are run by a highly skilled and experienced team of artists, with expertise in a wide range of visual-arts practices. The sessions offer a sharing of skills and knowledge in a safe and supportive environment, as well as providing an important community connection for those we support. Operating in small groups, with the same team and peers together each week, we create a sense of community and belonging that offers the necessary support and security for our participants that helps them (re)build their lives.
Our sessions provide support to vulnerable adults referred by:
- Surrey, Hampshire and Berkshire County Council Adult Social Care;;
- community mental health services;
- GPs;
- social prescribers; and
- other relevant professionals providing support to vulnerable adults in the community.

Achievements and performance
a. ACHIEVEMENTS AND PERFORMANCE
We have continued to focus strongly in this period on action to ensure our resilience for the future and to plan for further growth. This has included training and development work with our artist team and our volunteers. We remain very grateful to all of the team for their brilliant work, support to our participants, and in helping ensure the sustainability of our service offer.
The number of people we are supporting continues to grow, and has increased by more than 50% since our return to full operation post-COVID.
An important highlight in our activities this year was our ‘Art outside the gallery project’. We are grateful to Sport England in particular for their support for this project which has given our participants several opportunities to visit local and regional green spaces, be inspired by nature, explore new materials and try new things.
The incredible quality and impact of the photography work undertaken by our Ukraine art group, particularly the success of their Unbowed exhibition which toured to several galleries in the South-East region in this year, led to an invitation to participate in a prestigious national project - Putting ourselves in the picture - led by the Fastforward Photography Team and Anna Fox, at the UCA. This has created lots of opportunities for skills development, access to a range of artist studios and other resources and has been very much enjoyed by all involved.
In March we were delighted to welcome the ceramicist Cristina Lorenzo to our studios. As the 2025 Farnham Craft Town Artist in Residence, Christina led a 3D workshop with Creative Response participants whose creations were then displayed alongside Cristina’s own work at her end of residency show, that we were very proud to host in the Creative Response gallery.
Financial Review
a. GOING CONCERN
After making appropriate enquiries, the Trustees have a reasonable expectation that the company has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. For this reason they continue to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the financial statements. Further details regarding the adoption of the going concern basis can be found in the Accounting Policies.
b. RESERVES POLICY
The Trustees have set a reserves policy to hold a minimum of three month’s operating costs to account for fluctuations in income.
c. PRINCIPAL FUNDING
Surrey County Council remained a significant funder of the service, including through a Better Care Fund grant. Some participants were supported by Hampshire and Berkshire County Councils as well as through grant funding from a number of local charitable trusts, including in particular the Broadhurst Trust, with whom we are very fortunate to continue to enjoy a strong and enduring partnership.
We remain very grateful for support this year from donors to the Community Foundation for Surrey, Music at the Pottery, Farnham Hedgehogs, South Street Trust, Farnham Town Council, St.Peter’s Charity Woking, Farnham Institute, Farnham Lions, Folk Inspiration, Nando’s Farnham, Rushmoor Borough Council and Sport England.
No income was received from outside of the UK.

Financial Review (continued)
d. RISK MANAGEMENT
The Trustees continue to regularly review the key organisational risks, in particular those related to safeguarding, fundraising and financial risks and the Board remains satisfied that systems and procedures are in place to mitigate our exposure to the major risks.
We are pleased to report that the Charity had no reportable incidents during the reporting year.
e. FUNDS
A portion of funds held are defined as restricted. See Section 12 for details of restricted funds.
f. RESULTS FOR THE YEAR
The results for the year and the financial position of the company are as shown in the annexed financial statements.
g. SMALL COMPANY PROVISIONS
This report has been prepared in accordance with the special provisions relating to companies subject to the small companies regime within Part 15 of the Companies Act 2006.
The report has also been made with regard to the Charity Commission Guidance on Public Benefit.
Statement of Trustees' responsibilities
The Trustees (who are also the directors of the company for the purposes of company law) are responsible for preparing the Trustees' Report and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).
Company law requires the Trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial year. Under company law, the Trustees must not approve the financial statements unless they are satisfied that they give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the company and of its incoming resources and application of resources, including its income and expenditure, for that period. In preparing these financial statements, the Trustees are required to:
∙select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently;
∙observe the methods and principles of the Charities SORP (FRS 102);
∙make judgments and accounting estimates that are reasonable and prudent;
∙state whether applicable UK Accounting Standards (FRS 102) have been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements;
∙prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the company will continue in business.
The Trustees are responsible for keeping adequate accounting records that are sufficient to show and explain the company's transactions and disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the company and enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Companies Act 2006. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the company and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2025
1.Accounting policies
|
|
|
Basis of preparation of financial statements
|
The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) (effective 1 January 2015) - (Charities SORP (FRS 102)), the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) and the Companies Act 2006.
The financial statements have been prepared to give a 'true and fair' view and have departed from the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 only to the extent required to provide a 'true and fair' view. This departure has involved following the Charities SORP (FRS 102) published on 16 July 2014 rather than the Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice effective from 1 April 2005 which has since been withdrawn.
Creative Response (Arts) Limited meets the definition of a public benefit entity under FRS 102. Assets and liabilities are initially recognised at historical cost or transaction value unless otherwise stated in the relevant accounting policy.
The company is a company limited by guarantee. The members of the company are the Trustees named on page . In the event of the company being wound up, the liability in respect of the guarantee is limited to £10 per member of the company.
The Trustees consider that there are no material uncertainties about the company's ability to continue as a going concern.
All income is recognised once the company has entitlement to the income, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount of income receivable can be measured reliably.
The recognition of income from legacies is dependent on establishing entitlement, the probability of receipt and the ability to estimate with sufficient accuracy the amount receivable. Evidence of entitlement to a legacy exists when the company has sufficient evidence that a gift has been left to them (through knowledge of the existence of a valid will and the death of the benefactor) and the executor is satisfied that the property in question will not be required to satisfy claims in the estate. Receipt of a legacy must be recognised when it is probable that it will be received and the fair value of the amount receivable, which will generally be the expected cash amount to be distributed to the company, can be reliably measured.
Other income is recognised in the period in which it is receivable and to the extent the goods have been provided or on completion of the service.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2025
1.Accounting policies (continued)
Expenditure is recognised once there is a legal or constructive obligation to transfer economic benefit to a third party, it is probable that a transfer of economic benefits will be required in settlement and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably. Expenditure is classified by activity. The costs of each activity are made up of the total of direct costs and shared costs, including support costs involved in undertaking each activity. Direct costs attributable to a single activity are allocated directly to that activity. Shared costs which contribute to more than one activity and support costs which are not attributable to a single activity are apportioned between those activities on a basis consistent with the use of resources. Central staff costs are allocated on the basis of time spent, and depreciation charges allocated on the portion of the asset’s use.
Fundraising costs are those incurred in seeking voluntary contributions and do not include the costs of disseminating information in support of the charitable activities. Support costs are those costs incurred directly in support of expenditure on the objects of the company and include project management carried out at Headquarters. Governance costs are those incurred in connection with administration of the company and compliance with constitutional and statutory requirements.
Expenditure on charitable activities is incurred on directly undertaking the activities which further the company's objectives, as well as any associated support costs.
Development costs are capitalised within intangible assets where they can be identified with a specific product or project anticipated to produce future benefits, and are amortised on the straight line basis over the anticipated life of the benefits arising from the completed product or project.
Deferred research and development costs are reviewed annually, and where future benefits are deemed to have ceased or to be in doubt, the balance of any related research and development is written off to the Statement of Financial Activities.
|
|
|
Intangible assets and amortisation
|
Intangible assets costing £NIL or more are capitalised and recognised when future economic benefits are probable, and the cost or value of the asset can be measured reliably.
Intangible assets are initially recognised at cost. After recognition, under the cost model, intangible assets are measured at cost less any accumulated amortisation and any accumulated impairment losses.
Amortisation is provided on intangible assets at rates calculated to write off the cost of each asset on a straight-line basis over its expected useful life.
Amortisation is provided on the following basis:

1.Accounting policies (continued)
|
|
|
Tangible fixed assets and depreciation
|
Tangible fixed assets are initially recognised at cost. After recognition, under the cost model, tangible fixed assets are measured at cost less accumulated depreciation. A review for impairment of a fixed asset is carried out if events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of any fixed assets may not be recoverable. Shortfalls between the carrying value of fixed assets and their recoverable amounts are recognised as impairments. Impairment losses are recognised in the Statement of Financial Activities.
Depreciation is charged so as to allocate the cost of tangible fixed assets less their residual value over their estimated useful lives, on a reducing balance basis.
Depreciation is provided on the following basis:
Trade and other debtors are recognised at the settlement amount after any trade discount offered. Prepayments are valued at the amount prepaid net of any trade discounts due.
Cash at bank and in hand includes cash and short-term highly liquid investments with a short maturity of three months or less from the date of acquisition or opening of the deposit or similar account.
|
|
|
Liabilities and provisions
|
Liabilities are recognised when there is an obligation at the Balance sheet date as a result of a past event, it is probable that a transfer of economic benefit will be required in settlement, and the amount of the settlement can be estimated reliably. Liabilities are recognised at the amount that the company anticipates it will pay to settle the debt or the amount it has received as advanced payments for the goods or services it must provide. Provisions are measured at the best estimate of the amounts required to settle the obligation. Where the effect of the time value of money is material, the provision is based on the present value of those amounts, discounted at the pre-tax discount rate that reflects the risks specific to the liability. The unwinding of the discount is recognised within interest payable and similar charges.
The company only has financial assets and financial liabilities of a kind that qualify as basic financial instruments. Basic financial instruments are initially recognised at transaction value and subsequently measured at their settlement value with the exception of bank loans which are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method.
